Does anyone have any experience with guard llamas or guard donkeys? Our goat herd is rapidly expanding, and we'll soon have to house some of them in pastures that are further from our house, and my wife and I feel they would be safer with a guard animal. It would be tough for us to have a guard dog, as the dog would have to live with the herd, and we get so attached to our dogs that something like that would be hard for us. So we are thinking of a guard llama or guard donkey.

Thanks for any comments.
